TPS District Newsletter

Dear TPS Community,

It's hard to believe that it's almost November!

Yet, as we near the end of October, your child's mid-term progress has been updated to your child's Aspen accounts. Please contact your school's secretary if you need assistance in logging on to Aspen. Additionally, parents of students that were in grades 3-10 last school year in Tewksbury, should have received their child's MCAS report in the US postal mail. Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or Guidance Counselor if you have questions.

We have seen many SUCCESSFUL Trunk or Treat events at our schools this past week and weekend. Thank you to all our staff, students and community members that made these events happen for our students. In the Town of Tewksbury, Halloween is being observed on Monday, October 31st from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.

Finally, in observance of Veterans Day, Friday, November 11th, our schools and administrative offices will be closed. I wish to sincerely THANK our Veterans (past and present) for their service to our country. Our deepest appreciation also goes out to our Veteran's families for sharing your loved ones to serve for all of us.

Please see the additional news and reminders below.

Sincerely,

Brenda Theriault-Regan

Superintendent

MyView is an easy-to-use mobile app that allows you to check on the location of your student’s school bus. The app allows you to view a real-time, map-based bus locator which can alert you by email or text when the bus enters a specific zone (i.e., a mile from your bus stop).

All parent information is locked down and password protected within the app to prevent unauthorized people from opening the app and viewing the student’s bus information.

To set up Zonar MyView:

1. Download the Zonar MyView app from the App Store or Google Play.

2. Enter the School Access Code when prompted - STA9559.

3. Go to your child's Aspen account: (If you do not remember your access to ASPEN, please contact your student’s school secretary.)

• Enter your child's LASID which can be found in ASPEN.
• Enter your child's bus route you wish to follow
• Create alert zones around drop-off and pick-up points (usually your own address).

It will take 24 hours for your newly created account to become active. If, after 24 hours, you have any questions about the use of this app, please email Tewksbury Transit at tti@tewksburytransit.com.
